Rehearsal Techniques
5:30 PM to 7:30 PMVoices of Birralee are running a series of open rehearsals for participants to come and watch Birralee artistic staff work with their own choirs. Depending on the rehearsal, participants may have the opportunity to discuss the rehearsal and ask the conductor questions (this is not guaranteed in every rehearsal).
After observing both the Birralee Kids and Birralee Singers rehearse, I am simply in awe of the harmonious blend of voices and the sheer dedication of each member and their conductors. Witnessing their passion and precision as they fine-tuned every note was truly inspiring and learning new warm-ups to add to my personal repertoire, will be welcomed by my own choir. It was an afternoon filled with music performed enthusiastically, leaving me with a renewed appreciation for the beauty of music and the power of collective effort. Bravo to the choir and their conductors for sharing their talent and spreading the joy of singing! Lindy-Jo, Primary School Teacher
